- Parking View more View less This attractive Victorian property is set back from the road and is only a short walk from the award-winning beach, the charming Old Village and the train station. It is approached via a drive and parking area beside a charming terrace with attractive raised shrub and flower beds where guests can enjoy having a drink on a sunny day. Although the guest house has been sensitively modernised it still retains some delightful period features such as coved ceilings, picture and dado rails as well as the original staircase. As you walk into the reception area you can immediately begin to feel the warm and friendly atmosphere and this feeling continues as you see the charming lounge/bar with colourful chairs and French doors to the terrace. There is a comfortable, light and bright dining room with a box bay window and seven tables providing for 18 covers, where guests can enjoy breakfast every morning. The good-sized kitchen provides everything needed for anyone cooking numerous breakfasts with its large, stainless steel range cooker, plenty of white kitchen units and multiple sinks, a dishwasher, microwave, fridges and freezers and heat lamps while outside there is a large laundry facility. Also on the ground floor is a separate owner’s dual aspect bed/sitting room and en suite bathroom as well as a store cupboard and independent external access. The spacious first floor landing leads to a guest kitchenette and three double bedrooms that all have en suite showers including the family room that can accommodate two adults and two children. This has access to the first-floor balcony that runs along the front of the property and provides charming views across to the sea. On the second floor there are four more bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and en suite showers including a second family room. Shanklin is a delightful seaside resort including the impressive Shanklin beach that was winner of the Beach of the Year Award in the Countryfile Magazine in 2019. The Old Village is charming with its thatched cottages, independent shops, restaurants and pubs, including Vernon Cottage, while the Shanklin Theatre provides a variety of professional and amateur shows for evening entertainment. There is a real feeling of community and, if you enjoy the ‘great outdoors’ there is nothing like a bracing walk with the dog or a cycle ride to Culver Down or Ventnor. You will also find suitable infant nurseries in the vicinity as well as find two good primary schools.
